ARMv8.2 introduces support for 52-bit physical addresses. To prepare for
supporting this, add a new kconfig symbol to configure the physical
address space size. The symbols will be used in subsequent patches.
Currently the only choice is 48, a later patch will add the option of 52
once the required code is in place.

We could replace most of the hard coded "48" PA limit values to ARM64_PA_BITS,
now that we have a configurable entity. i.e, you could fold  patch 7 & 8 into
this one.

Makes sense, I'll merge patches 7 and 8 into this one in v2.
